New Burnley signing Danny Fox is upset he won't be able to face Everton this season.

A boyhood Everton fan, Fox briefly played alongside Wayne Rooney in the youth team at Goodison Park and is disappointed that he has arrived at Turf Moor after Burnley have already played both league games against the Toffees this season.

"I'm gutted to miss the Everton games but a lot of my family support Liverpool as well so I'm looking forward to that now," said Fox, who joined Walsall after being released by Everton.

"I think it's the third last game of the season. It'd be good for us to stay up and for them to miss out on the Champions League!

"I only played with Wayne Rooney for a year to 18 months at Everton and then he just took off.

"He was only about 14 or 15 and he was training with the first team. You could see then how good he was going to be.

"I enjoyed my time at Everton massively. Being an Everton fan, it was wrench to leave them.

"But I've played about 200 games now since I left. I've played so many games in such a short period of time, games like Arsenal away in the Champions League qualifiers and the Old Firm game, so hopefully that will stand me in good stead in the Premier League against top-notch opposition.

"I've played for five or six clubs already and I want to try to settle now. Hopefully, Burnley is the place to do that."
